Huzzah! It is with joyous dancing I inform you all that I did indeed finish that pesky jelly roll quilt this weekend!!

…but alas! Although it matches quite well, there is not enough to use for the back. Now I’m trying to figure out what to do. 🙁

Another problem I have is that this is my very first quilt I’ve ever made, so now I’ll need to make sure I bind the edges perfectly!! Eee!
